FYI

I keep this spreadsheet of power supply loading fairly up to date. The numbers are max load and will not all normally be on at the same time so the results are conservative.


And from the WD web site: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc....ted=1037222945

Towards bottom of the page. Note consumption is very low except during spin up.
Thought for the new millenium:

In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?
